To deny the existence of red is to deny the existence of mystery. The soul which does so will one day go mad. I will never know how you see red and you will never know how I see it. But this separation of consci- ousness is recognized only after a failure of communication ..

Timing is everything. Many, who couldn't bear the thought of risking in- gestion as Bibi and Boeh- ner trade robust resolve, will have underestimated the duration of their act. If there is no stalwart student pizza agency in your town down the road (and one can't believe, there isn't), it's incum- bent upon one rudimentar- ily to improvise a repast. If the soothings of pizza seem an incongruous pair- ing for rhetoric to rouse the blood, the transfats, alone, support the direst apoplexy, with all the panache of anchovy.

Mann's immortal story doesn't give us this information. Fourteen years later, he pub- lished a story which reaches around, I think, the waist of this one, in a strik- ing reinforcement of the first, which ap- proached the mind of the lover. The later tale, if you will, remembers the predic- ament of the youth. Of course the works are independent. In the way the pearl happens.

That reflex for a shower,after the latest infusion of Clintonism, which may be defined as the nausea arising less from the as- sault, than from the tem- erity of its excuses. Is one really to be com- pelled to endure this a- gain, on the pretext of progressivism?

Writing to a colleague in the 1930s, the physicist Wolfgang Pauli confessed, “I have done a terrible thing. I’ve postulated a particle that can not be detected.” Eventually, Pauli won the Nobel Prize for his Exclusion Principle, i.e., all material particles exhibit space-occupying behaviour - and could very well fall within the province of restaurants. I wonder if red mug, blue linen will be that terrible thing, a postulate without a particle - that a gentleman is only that creature whose nourishment occupies no space. But whether that is true, is less urgent to know than where it comes from.
